Dealing with a personal injury from a car accident can be emotionally, physically, and financially devastating.

Car Accidents in Minnesota
In Minnesota, a person who is not at fault for causing the car accident that resulted in injuries has 6 years from the date of the car accident to file a claim in court against the responsible party. However, if your claim involves a government agency, employee or vehicle, you may have to give formal notice of your claim within 180 days.
In Minnesota, we have the No-Fault Automobile Insurance Act, which means regardless of who is at fault for causing the car accident, your own car insurance company pays for your reasonable and necessary medical bills, loss wages, and other economic losses resulting from the car accident. Under Minnesota Stat. 65B.44 BASIC ECONOMIC LOSS BENEFITS, you are entitled to a minimum of $40,000 for loss arising out of the injury of any one person, consisting of:
- $20,000 for medical expense loss arising out of injury to any one person; and
- A total of $20,000 for income loss, replacement services loss, funeral expense loss, survivor’s economic loss, and survivor’s replacement services loss arising out of the injury to any one person.
Under Minnesota Stat. 65B.51, to have a liability claim against the at-fault person, you must incur over $4000 medical expenses or your injury results in:
- Permanent disfigurement;
- Permanent injury;
- Death; or
- Disability for 60 days or more
Car Accidents in Wisconsin
In Wisconsin, a person who is not at fault for causing the car accident that resulted in injuries to him/her has 3 years from the date of the car accident to file a claim in court against the responsible party.
Wisconsin is not a no-fault state like Minnesota. Wisconsin law differs from Minnesota law for car accident cases.
